A beam is constructed from two 50 x 100 mm wood planks that are attached by screws that are spaced at 30 cm in the longitudinal direction as shown. This built-up section is subjected to an internal shear force of 100 kN acting downwards as shown. Determine the shear strength of the screws necessary to maintain this built-up section in terms of the force that each screw must be able to carry.
